Joel 1:16-18
New Living Translation
Joel 1:16-18
New Living Translation
16 Our food disappears before our very eyes.
No joyful celebrations are held in the house of our God.
17 The seeds die in the parched ground,
and the grain crops fail.
The barns stand empty,
and granaries are abandoned.
18 How the animals moan with hunger!
The herds of cattle wander about confused,
because they have no pasture.
The flocks of sheep and goats bleat in misery.
Joel 1:16-18
New International Version
Joel 1:16-18
New International Version
16 Has not the food been cut off(A)
before our very eyes—
joy and gladness(B)
from the house of our God?(C)
17 The seeds are shriveled
beneath the clods.[a](D)
The storehouses are in ruins,
the granaries have been broken down,
for the grain has dried up.
18 How the cattle moan!
The herds mill about
because they have no pasture;(E)
even the flocks of sheep are suffering.(F)
